- Add Cilantro, Tiger Sauce, and Lime Juice: Stir in the chopped cilantro and squeeze the juice of one lime into the salsa. Mix well.
- Season: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
- Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavors, refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve: Serve grilled salsa with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled meats, fish, or tacos.
